Matt J. Sherman (ID: 000000f0a5d4636f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/14/2018 Does the job.

daf (ID: 000000461a59481f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/22/2018 Works as advertised but on sites with dark backgrounds the white background highlight can not only be overly bright but also hard to read due to low contrast with font color. Would have been preferable to not highlight the converted string.

Brian Nakamoto (ID: 000000dac1cee12a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/16/2016 It would be awesome if this extension could identify and decode all discontinuous base64 strings on a page. Otherwise, it works as advertised in Chrome for macOS. Links don't have to be highlighted; simply right-click to decode. Thanks!
